Bryony studied Wyatt as he stared at her. The expression on his face told her everything. She actually was in some serious danger, even though she'd dodged her own funny vision that night by fleeing the scene, so to speak.

Naturally, she didn't feel any real fear at the thought. This was part of her talent, too. Being almost stupidly fearless in the face of what most people would consider to be terrifying. Even when she had taken the nasty spill that broke her leg, while she definitely felt the massive pain, she hadn't felt an ounce of fear even when she'd gone bouncing and tumbling down the mountain completely out of control. No, what she'd felt had been more along the lines of, Oh, shit. This is going to ruin the rest of my season.

Clearly, Wyatt did not possess the same lack of fear about this particular situation. She wondered if she was being carelessly brave. "Tell me," she urged him. "I remember about the demon. Khain, right?"

Slowly, he nodded. "What else do you remember about what I told you back then?" The low rumble of his voice sent a heated flicker through her core. She'd been faintly aroused ever since he burst into Renata's store like an avenging warrior ready to defend what was his from some unknown enemy.

Ready to defend her. Which meant that he somehow thought that she was his? Bryony frowned. The idea sizzled along each nerve ending, and it felt good...but she wasn't entirely sure she liked the idea of being some sort of possession he thought he needed to take care of. Was it amazing to see him again, to have been kissed by him so thoroughly the other night she could still feel it branded on her lips, to know that he was still the same fascinating, exciting person she'd been remembering he was in the back of her mind all these years? Yes, that part was all amazing.

It was just the thought of a guy acting like he could claim her that pushed her buttons. She forced herself to take a breath. No matter what, though, she owed him the courtesy of listening to whatever he was about to tell her. She wanted to know anyway.

Besides that, she admitted to herself with another tingling thrill that blasted through her body, she really wanted to hear him keep talking. His deep timbre thrummed along her nerves in all the right ways.

"You remember what I told you about what he did to my mom, and to all the other female shiften. Including wolven, like me." He watched her carefully as he said that. They had touched on it during their stroll after dinner last week, but they hadn't discussed this part quite so boldly.

Bryony nodded, feeling held by the intensity of his bright blue eyes. Just as carefully but very clearly, she responded. "That he murdered all the female shiften in the world, like your mom,” that part, she said very softly, “so that no more full-blooded shiften could be born.
